What topic do you discuss in your script? And why?
Themes of gaslighting, romanticising, the perilous of the digital dating age, self esteem - all these are interconnected when it comes to our relationships and especially romantic ones. To have relationships is to be human so they always impact us.
  
Do you think that films can change people for the better or for the worse?
I think as long as a film is moving you on the emotional spectrum it's doing its job.

According to 3-act dramaturgy, how would you define your story?
A man and a woman meet with instant chemistry and connection, the relationship deepens via social media and phone/video calls and starts to get one sided
and then things take a drastic turn when it becomes a reality in person.
  
What actors do you imagine in your project (typologically)?
I'd love to see jenifer connelly and jared leto reunite for a hearbtreaking tale like this but i have used local nYC actors curry whitmire and victoria nieves for shooting a proof of concept.

Why do you think your script should attract director?
The more these scripts are put on the screen we have the ability to heal from these new world orders of navigating social media and love
